| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2003 lincoln aviator lost power steering causing me to loose control of the car on a county road and missing death by god's love last tuesday,2/22/05. i struggled and managed to drag the car off the road onto the bush and avoided heating an oncoming car and being crushed by a semi-trailer that was behind me. the car was towed(flat-bedded) to the local lincoln-mercury dealership. the head mechanic told me later that my car had suffered a catastrophic birth defect from the factory because the power steering hose was improperly mounted at the time manufactured, as a consequence the hose fell off the mounting/attachment and was cut by the air condition fan. he told me new hose has been installed and mounted properly under the factory warranty. i have taken possession of the car, but i am afraid to drive it for any distance. first, i would like your office to force ford lincoln,the manufacturer of the lincoln aviator suv, to send an immediate alert to the public that this potentially fatal problem is possible in the aviator brand of their suv. if i died in the accident,my family would never know what caused the accident. we do not want any body to be hurt or killed in the lincoln aviator. second, i would like to know what my course of action should be: get a brand new replacement car or feel unsafe in a lincoln aviator for a ever? third does your office have a record of this type of problem with this line of vehicle? thank you for your quick response and assistance. unyime o. nseyo. *nm |
